Chapter 1351 The Lost Array in the Cloud
Although Lin Fan is a hidden danger, he is not on the same level as himself now. Of course, Liang Yan cannot return to the first level to kill this person, so he can only put this matter aside first. to the side.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his left hand over, and a treasure box appeared in his palm.
This treasure box is made entirely of jade, with auspicious cloud patterns on the surface. It is surrounded by glowing light and overflowing with aura. You can tell at a glance that there is a treasure hidden inside.
"The rewards for the disciples who have been tested in the Tianji Pavilion will definitely not disappoint me"
Liang Yan thought for a while, put the treasure box in his hand on the ground, and took more than ten steps back.
He raised his hand and played a magic formula, and a ray of green light shot out and sank into the inside of the treasure box. There was only a "click" sound, and the treasure box slowly opened.
There is nothing strange, only the colorful spiritual energy spreading out. Obviously there is no mechanism inside this treasure box. It is indeed a reward for the trial disciples of Tianji Pavilion.
Liang Yan felt relieved, stepped forward slowly, raised his hand and took out the contents of the treasure box.
What I saw was a pair of silver rings, with a bright light and compelling aura.
With the ring in hand, a paragraph of text also appeared in Liang Yan's consciousness:
"For those who want to practice Taoism and ascend to immortality, opportunity, qualifications, and character are all indispensable. Since you have cracked the 'Gun City', you will be rewarded." :'Spirit Ring', the sacrificial refining formula is as follows."
The next step is a sacrificial refining formula, and at the end of this formula, it is written : "When cultivating immortals and seeking Taoism, you must also do your best. Now, by crushing the core disciple tokens, you can leave the Thousand Machines Demonic Tower in advance. If you choose to challenge the next level, you may lose the rewards you received, or even be seriously injured. Be careful, be careful. !”
Liang Yan read this passage from beginning to end, knowing that this was the advice Tianji Pavilion had given to the trial disciples.
Unfortunately, I do not have the token of a core disciple, and I came here to find the "Reincarnation Fruit", so it is destined to be a journey with no retreat.
However, the magic weapon "Spirit Ring" still made Liang Yan's eyes light up.
According to the description in the text, the "Spiritual Binding Ring" can block the opponent's spiritual power and magical powers!
Although this magic weapon has great limitations. For example, it is not very useful for monks who practice physical training, sword training, martial arts, and beast control. However, for those monks who are good at kneading and chanting spells, But it is a very good restraint weapon.
Among the top ten geniuses, there are many monks who are good at magic, such as Yu Linglong from Yuzhu Mountain, Hu Chenyu from Tianmo Mountain, Xuan Hui, a casual cultivator, and Lin Fan who is chasing after him.
Next time you meet these monks, as long as you use the "Spirit Ring", you can block most of the opponent's magical powers, which will undoubtedly give you the upper hand.
But Liang Yan is also a very sober person.
He could vaguely guess that there should be more than one key in the "Gun City". Otherwise, would only one disciple be able to pass the first level of the Tianji Pavilion trial every time?
Other geniuses, if they find other keys, can also get rewards from Tianji Pavilion, and the treasures they get may not be worse than themselves!
"It seems that we must seize the time. The sooner we get to the top, the easier it will be to seize the opportunity!"
Liang Yan thought of this and immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and began to follow the rules. Learn the mantras in your consciousness and silently practice the magic weapon "Spirit Ring".
Two hours passed, and Liang Yan slowly opened his eyes.
After these two hours of sacrifice, he has been able to initially control the "Spiritual Binding Ring".
Now that he is in the Thousand Machines Demonic Tower, it is impossible to have time to fully refine him. As long as he can activate the "Spiritual Binding Ring" to defend against the enemy, it is considered complete.
The next step is to find the "man who refines treasures" in the prompt.
Liang Yan stood up and pondered for a moment. He did not act immediately, but patted the Taixu gourd on his waist.
"Lao Jin, Xiao Song, can you come out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lao Jin's voice sighing in his consciousness, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liang, this time I try You may have to rely on yourself to refining. I tried it just now. The restriction in the Thousand Machines Demonic Tower is too strong. As long as the cultivation level reaches the tribulation realm, no matter whether it is a human or a demon, it will be suppressed by powerful force. With my current situation, strength , I can’t resist this kind of power at all.”
After Lao Jin finished speaking, Li Xiaosong also shouted: “Yes! This place is so disgusting, it has no power to suppress me. I can use my magical power. If it wasn't like this... Huh! That Lin Fan was slapped to death by my aunt just now!"
Liang Yan couldn't help but sigh after hearing the second demon's answer.
Tianji Pavilion is indeed a powerful sect in ancient times. There are strict rules in this trial tower. No monks above the Tribulation Realm can enter, even if Lao Jin and Li Xiaosong are monsters. .
Fortunately, Taixu Gourd has its own realm and is not bound by the laws of this space. Otherwise, even if Li Xiaosong and Lao Jin were hiding inside, they would still be on pins and needles.
"Okay, if that's the case, then you two can stay inside with peace of mind."
Liang Yan knew that the two demons could not be his help, so he did not force it, and silently figured it out in his hands. After a while, follow the chain between the wooden piles and walk towards the north
The top of the cloud, as the name suggests, is above the clouds.
The surroundings are surrounded by clouds and mist. Apart from wooden piles and iron locks, there are only a few mountain peaks that occasionally emerge from the clouds.
Here, there are almost no references and no clues.
Liang Yan was not good at calculations, but his cultivation level was not low. He vaguely felt that the north seemed to be a good place, so without any other clues, he headed towards the true north.
I walked like this for about two hours, during which time I passed through thousands of identical iron locks and wooden stakes.
Liang Yan suddenly stopped and looked around with some confusion.
“Something’s wrong!”
He frowned slightly, and in the next moment, he pointed his finger into a sword, emitted sword energy, and cut off a corner of the wooden stake under his feet.
Next, Liang Yan did not stop at all, and continued to take long strides, stepping on the iron locks and wooden stakes on the clouds, and still headed due north.
Another stick of incense passed.
When Liang Yan stopped again, the wooden stake that he had cut off a corner with his sword energy reappeared in front of him.
“Looks like I’m back again.”
At this moment, Liang Yan was extremely sure that he was just going in circles after walking for so long. It wouldn't be long before he would return to the starting point.
“Could the top of the cloud be a huge maze?”
Liang Yan looked around, not sure yet.
After pondering for a moment, he changed the direction again, this time to the south. He also started from the wooden pile with a corner cut off by the sword energy, and every time he walked past a wooden pile, he would use the sword energy to Leave a mark.
After burning the incense, Liang Yan returned to the starting point again.
This time, he no longer had any doubts. The entire top of the cloud was a huge maze. No matter how he walked, he would eventually return to the starting point.
“It’s strange, when did you get tricked?”
Liang Yan’s face was a little gloomy.
He had been very careful on the road just now, but he didn't expect to come back here in the end. Looking at the marks left along the way, Liang Yan suddenly felt in a trance, as if everything around him became unreal.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came out from the Taixu Gourd:
"It's useless for you to walk like this!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan's heart moved, and he hurriedly took out a black jar from the Taixu gourd, held it on the palm of his right hand, and asked: "Hongwu, Do you recognize this maze, or have you discovered some flaws?”
“Hey, I don’t understand the formation.”
Hongwu's voice slowly came out from the jar: "It's just that our 'Spiritual Tribe' has some talents and a keen perception of magic weapons and artifacts. Although these wooden stakes under your feet look exactly the same, they are There are a few of them that are different.”
“Oh?” Liang Yan’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
The elders of Tianji Pavilion set up the "Cloud Summit" formation to test the disciples' cultivation in the formation.
But now, it seems that I can use another more direct method to get out of this formation.
"Hongwu, please point out to me one by one which wooden piles are different."
"Okay!"
Hongwu's voice came from the soul-raising altar: "From your current location, walk three blocks to the southeast and then one block to the left. That is the nearest one."
Listen Following Hongwu's instructions, Liang Yan immediately set off and came to the wooden pile without any hesitation.
“Next, walk ten spaces to the north and two spaces to the east.”
“Go fifteen spaces to the south.”
“Go three spaces to the west. , go seven blocks south. ”
"Southeast direction, fifteen grids."
Hongwu's instructions continued to reach Liang Yan's ears, and Liang Yan did not hesitate at all and decisively followed the route he gave.
Gradually, Liang Yan discovered that the marked wooden stakes no longer appeared near him, and the surrounding scenery also changed somewhat.
"As expected!"
Liang Yan's face showed a hint of joy. Although this method was a bit opportunistic, it was the most efficient way to get out of the maze.
Fortunately, Hongwu helped, otherwise he might have wasted too much time on this level.
"Fifteen squares to the northwest, then turn around and walk seven squares to the right."
Hongwu's voice came again, Liang Yan walked fifteen squares along the northwest direction, and suddenly found A green mountain peak appeared behind him.
"We're about to go out!"
Liang Yan had some premonitions in his heart and became energetic. Following Hongwu's instructions, he turned around and walked another seven squares.
As the last step was taken, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed!
I saw tall mountains standing in front of me, with many mountains and mountains, like a huge valley, but the bottom of the valley was submerged by the sea of clouds, and only a little of the top of the mountain was exposed.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, there is only one gap, and that is where you are.
And this location is like the entrance to the valley!
“It seems that this is the right place.”
Liang Yan thought secretly in his heart, put the "Soul-nurturing Altar" into the Taixu Gourd, and took big steps towards the interior of the valley.
On the majestic Yunfeng Peak, there are green grass, green forests like the sea, and the surrounding cliffs are shining. Hundreds of chains are crisscrossed, like bridges connecting the various peaks, seemingly extending in all directions.
In the middle of the mountains, there are seven or forty-nine wooden stakes standing, which are also mostly covered by clouds and fog, with only a section above the clouds exposed.
On the middlemost wooden pile, there is an emerald green pavilion, and a Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi sits in the pavilion.
This man looks about thirty years old, handsome and unrestrained. He is sitting cross-legged in the pavilion, his eyes are slightly closed, and he is holding a long fishing rod in his hand.
The fishing rod extended out of the pavilion and came out of the wooden pile. The fishing line was almost transparent and hung from the fishing rod until it was under the clouds.
On a wooden pile in front of the Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi, there is a huge cauldron. Green smoke curls up from the top of the furnace, and precious light overflows. One look at it and you know that the things inside the cauldron are absolutely extraordinary!
“The treasure refiner!”
Liang Yan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Although the Confucian scholar in green in the pavilion is very vivid, Liang Yan has "Eight Parts of Yanyuan" with him, and it can be seen at a glance that he is not a living person, and is most likely similar to the "Golden Light Buddha" on the first floor. existence.
According to the clues in the prompt, this Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi is most likely the "treasure refiner" he is looking for!
Although he found his target, Liang Yan did not act rashly.
Because here and now, there is another genius!
Not far from Baoding, there is an ordinary wooden stake, with a monk in yellow sitting cross-legged on it. It is Fang Ruhui, one of the ten geniuses.
On the wooden piles near Fang Ruhui, there were many broken remains of mechanisms. It was obvious that there had been a battle here.
According to Liang Yan's preliminary speculation, these wreckage should be puppets released by the Confucian scholars in Qingyi, and they are also one of the tests of this level.
As a person who broke through the barrier, Fang Ruhui should have had a battle with these machine puppets. The final result was obvious at a glance. The great monk not only destroyed all the machine puppets, but he himself was still unscathed.
At this time, Fang Ruhui had his eyes slightly closed and his hands clasped together. He looked like an old monk in meditation, uninterested in everything around him.
Even Liang Yan's arrival did not alarm this person.
On the contrary, the scholar in Tsing Yi who was fishing in the pavilion slowly opened his eyes.
"Tsk, tsk, what day is it today? In just half a stick of incense, two trialists arrived at my place in succession." The Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi said, looking Liang Yan up and down, with a half-smiling expression on his face. .
Facing the Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi, Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and became a little wary.
Although he knew that the other party was not a living person and was most likely a machine puppet, he still felt that he could not see through the other party.
The existence in front of me is somewhat similar to the Golden Light Buddha, but it seems to be quite different.
“Are you the gatekeeper of ‘Cloud Top’?”
"Yes, there are three peak masters on the top of the clouds, and I am one of them." The scholar in blue nodded, his expression very indifferent.
"How can we pass this level?" Liang Yan went straight to the topic.
The Confucian scholar in Qingyi did not answer immediately, but glanced at him and sighed softly: "I know you are not a disciple of Tianji Pavilion, and it is very rare to pass the first floor, but listen to my advice, Don't go any further."
After hearing the words of the Confucian scholar in Qingyi, Liang Yan's eyes flashed.
As a guard puppet, this person could actually tell at a glance that he was not a disciple of Tianji Pavilion. Compared with the previous Golden Light Buddha, he seemed to have a lot more spirituality.
The most crucial thing is the second half of his sentence.
"Why do you advise me not to go down another level?" Liang Yan asked calmly.
